Issues with DLC
Hello, I had ACM for quite sometime however acording to google. All owners are suspose to get sa free upgrade to the collection set? I can't seem to upgrade my current vanilla ACM as I own the base game. I also attempted to purchase it from the Steam store but it says I already have the collection.

You could try deleteing the installed files and re-downloading from Steam.

according to SEGA I have to buy the Collection >.> which makes no sense. Steam says I own it but I dont have any of the DLC. Steam also says I dont own any DLC in the missing DLC help section. Can someone help me here?

Unfortunately you do indeed have to purchase the collection again. I was in the same boat. When you add the collection to your cart it will notify you that you already have the base game and that you will not receive another copy of it. I bought this game forever ago and I’ve been waiting for a sale to get the rest of the dlc but after waiting 3 months I just went ahead and bought it last night lmao.

So you don't have to delete it first on steam, you just buy it with the notification that you already have the collection?

Hi there Folks, lol, 'K then, straight to the point.
Once again, this is rumor control. Here are the facts.
• If you already own the base game, uninstall it and install the game again for sweet update.
• The Bug Hunt DLC and some others should have been included in base game since 2013.
• Now, people can have a full package for a cool price. Before, it was way more expensive, lol.
• Gearbox's thinking? Only publishers make such decisions, never developers, pal. Never.
• Same for Valve / Steam, lol, they don't and can't even decide such things. Publishers do.
Publishers / producers, developers, and distributors. That's how it works IRL.
All the Best.

Hi there mate,
So if you recently bought the new A:CM package with all DLCs, don't delete any file manually, but uninstall A:CM and reinstall it again to update your game content. And if you'd like to reach peeps whishing to play Bug Hunt and/or any other Multiplayer mode, then try this (check comments).
All the Best.

Nope - You have to buy the game AGAIN with the DLCs in it. There was a rant about it some time ago.

Hi there, indeed, people who got the base game and no DLC, or only some of them, need to buy the final A:CM package in order to get all DLCs but need to uninstall the previous version and install the new one in order to be sure to update their game content.

For years every single DLC was separated and getting everything was kinda expensive. The final package & price are really decent now, definitely, above all if we consider the Bug Hunt experience. That one should have been included in 2013.
